This is a 2004 Klondike Derby Scout patch from the Lafayette District of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). The patch commemorates the annual Klondike Derby, a winter-themed scouting event that typically involves outdoor activities such as sled races and winter camping skills. This patch features classic imagery including a pair of crossed red snowshoes centered below a white snowflake, symbolizing the winter event, all set on a deep blue twill background.
The patch is embroidered with yellow text reading "LAFAYETTE DISTRICT" at the top and "2004 KLONDIKE DERBY" along the bottom in a curved format. A small yellow BSA fleur-de-lis is positioned beneath the snowshoes, reinforcing the official scouting affiliation. The patch is finished with a white merrowed edge, and a loop at the top for attachment. The backing is plastic with a colorful printed pattern, but no manufacturer name or country of origin is visible. This collectible scout patch is an excellent addition for Boy Scout collectors interested in Klondike Derby events, district patches, or winter-themed scouting memorabilia.
